The care given to my sister is excellent. Despite being in bed or a recliner chair al the time she has not suffered from pneumonia, thromboses, or pressure sores. Staff are allways welcoming and happy to chat and help. The home is clean and never smells which can be the case elsewhere. My sister is very happy and settled.

My mother has just moved to Holme Close and the staff are amazing. The level of care is excellent, they are all friendly and seem to really enjoy their work. You really couldn't ask for more from them.

My mother has only been in Home Close for a few days but I have been impressed by the caring and friendly staff, and the new manager is so enthusiastic and has so many plans for the place. So far we have all been very happy to have our mother in their care.

Wonderful people, great place, very caring. Sometimes felt people weren't checked on frequently as they should. Other than that exceptional. Thank you. Overall brilliant.

Our parents have settled very well at Home Close. They have rooms adjacent to each other and they both feel the benefit of being so nearby to each other. All of the staff (from working at reception to nursing staff and caring staff and cleaning and laundry) have been very professional, welcoming, friendly and efficient. We are confident that our parents are in safe hands and are being well looked after. We are impressed by the level of care and attention that our parents receive.

Mum was welcomed into the home on 25th October 2024 after one mishap. To date, after the short time mum has been with you, she has been looked after very well. The room is very clean as is mum, in fact, the area she is living in is very clean. The staff are very good. The management is very helpful.

Home Close is a lovely care home, the staff are always chatty and friendly. The staff treat my grandparents with respect and dignity all the time. When I visit, there is always a good range of activities from flower arranging to having animal in the Home. There is a wide range of food available, it always looks and smells delicious. Home close is a safe and loving environment.

We are so grateful for the support and care given to my great aunt since moving to Home Close in April. She was incredibly frail and sad in the months prior to this time and spent many weeks in hospital unsure she would be able to go home or indeed leave the hospital. My great aunt is 96 and lived alone most of her adult life being fiercely independent. She has the most amazing memory and enjoys chatting. I cannot believe the change in her since her being at Home Close, she has put on weight and looks fantastic, she is back having her hair done weekly and enjoys chatting to anyone that will chat to her. We cannot sing the praises enough of the manager for all her help and guidance navigating her admission and care plan. Also for the fantastic support and communication of the administrator and all of the lovely ladies and gents that go the extra mile to ensure my great aunt is cared for so well. You are all stars and we appreciate you all you do a sterling job.

My aunt has got a new lease of life since moving into the home. She is finding the staff happy and they are always ready to chat to her and find out if there is any thing she needs. She lived alone for many years so having people interested in her every day is such a wonderful welcome for her. Visiting her is a pleasure because of the welcome we get when we visit. My daughter is often with me and now because we are both able to visit frequently. Before she came to the home, she was too far for us to see her often. I am very grateful for the care she has and so I thank all the staff and we always get a smiling welcome from one member of staff in particular the first person we see as she is at her desk at reception. I would recommend Home Close to anyone who may be looking for a place for a loved one and the manager always take time if we have any questions or concerns. Thank you all at Home Close.

My father moved into Home Close Care Home in July 2024 and was there for 3 months until his passing in early October. We visited several care homes prior to this and, for us, Home Close was absolutely our first choice. So many care homes we visited were more interested in looking like a sumptuous hotel and spending their money on promotional freebies to hand out! At Home Close, it actually felt like a home! It is warm, bright and welcoming and every single staff member is friendly, helpful and invested in the welfare of their residents. They are one big family and teamwork is very much at the core of their ethos. Although only there a short time, my dad settled in very quickly and we were all made to feel so welcome when we visited him. He was, unfortunately, bed-bound, but there were always staff members popping in and out and making sure he was ok. Everyone was so cheerful and friendly.

My dad moved to Home Close at the end of May 2024, and I have been so impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of all the staff from the manager to the cleaning staff. Their attention to Dad's many health problems has been faultless.

Our mum has been at Home Close Care Home for over 18 months now and she is comfortable and settled with the carers and staff. All her carers are so helpful and always make sure Mum is happy. Mum's room is comfortable and homely and she enjoys the meals. Thank you so much to all the staff at Home Close

The whole experience from first looking around the home has been lovely. The staff have been amazing, nothing is too much trouble. My father seems very happy with the care he is receiving.

My mother moved into Home Close about 6 months ago after becoming bedridden. She initially gained some weight and began to participate in activities. She particularly enjoyed the memory game and also joined in for a couple of music events. The staff often encouraged her to get out of her room more but her stamina was low, so she would often stay only for a short while. My mother adored avocados and I particularly appreciated that they ensured she got one on several occasions during her stay. The staff were all good and caring but there were some challenges with staffing levels and it felt like a long time to respond when the buzzer was pressed. Occasionally the buzzer didn't work and wasn't always sorted out the first time I asked. The room is warm and comfortable through winter but the chest of drawers should be replaced.

We had to find a care home asap and rang the home to arrange an appointment we were shown around by a member of staff and was very impressed by the friendliness of all staff and they was always ready to answer any questions. Our father seems to have settled and is enjoying the food and care given to him by the staff. Every time I walk into the home everyone is polite and always asks if there are any problems as nothing is too much trouble for them. The home could do with some TLC but it is about the care the residents are receiving and that is what matters!

My nan has been a resident at Home Close for just over a year. She struggled to settle in, at first. Not helped by the constant change of care staff. Recently, however, things have improved greatly. She has regular staff, easily identified by pictures on her wall. The continuity of care is of a good standard. One carer, in particular, goes above and beyond. Always making my nan smile.
